Answer:
Hey there!
Think of 45000 being split to 9 pieces.
Each piece would be 5000 dollars.
Thus, the ratio would be 20000 to 25000
Hope this helps :)
None of the answers are correct
(x+3)^2 + 10 first you factor out the (x+3)
(x+3)(x+3) + 10
x^2 + 6x + 9 +10 simplify
x^2 + 6x + 19
There is an 85 right in front of the x, red flag that you should look around there. The wording of the question says he gets 85 points per test, a perfect definition for our expression if x is the number of tests.
It would be 20000 more than the smallest number. the smallest number could go on forever, infinity. unless you have a "smallest" number
